How to install Arch Linux

[Wake841]

Hello! I want to share my journey installing Arch Linux ARM on the Argon ONE UP. It took me actually many hours, but I learned quite a bit

Here you find all the commands I used, which worked perfect for me:

I am sure, some of it could be done “nicer”, but for now I am happy that I can share a working solution for anyone who wants to install Arch Linux. If you have any comments, feedback let me know.

Arch Linux ARM on Argon ONE UP CM5 · GitHub

The link is not working for me

Strange. Working for me.

Today it’s working ok for me too. Perhaps a github glitch?

Great stuff, worked very well!

One note for people using the guide: the hardcoded linux-rpi version might have changed, so check it on Index of /aarch64/core/ !

For the battery to show up as a device, there are instructions in this thread:

One Up Battery driver update

Hello! I have made changes to my battery driver, so that it will be loaded properly into the system when the battery is detected at startup. The current version basically just takes over the I2C bus. Not really playing nice in the environment. Anyway, its available on github under the branch “overylay_driver_possible”. if you know how to use git, and want to pull it down and help me test, I’d appreciate it. Thanks! https://github.com/JeffCurless/argon-oneup Jeff

Haha, was thinking to add the link at some point here.

Speaking of which, another useful step is a .dtbo overlay for the lid switch

I have replaced the NVMe drive with another, and these instructions just don’t seem to get me anywhere. The boot to Arch seems to result in some error.
